I was in Virginia a few weeks ago to help my sister with her new baby and older kids and made a trip to G Street Fabric store. I posted it on instagram and lots of you mentioned their high prices as a deterent to shopping there, and I agree that it was pricier than I normally like, but I found some bargains on their $2/yard table (remember the A week dress?) as well as this cotton that was regularly priced.
I added a button of a girl with a Hat for a little pocket buddy!
Remember when piping was 15¢? Ha. I wish. I thought it was about time to use this beauty along the neckline and pocket.
My sweet Azure...
in a harp sandwich!
Love those little knees!
ReplyDeletealways scraped :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous dress with all the special details and what a lovely little girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI must find this fabric! I'm not as talented as you - but my daughter would love something made from it. :) You always add something unique to everything you make. I love the pretty blue piping and the stamps are so cool.
ReplyDeleteAzure is such a tiny little beauty. Love the freckles, knobby & scabbed knees and that hair!
I'm sure having something from her mom is special enough ;)
DeleteOh how I love the back of that collar!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite partial to that particular detail, thank you!
DeleteAzure looks so sweet in this dress; the fabric and piping are adorable and the STAMPand girl button; again, I am in heaven just admiring your awesomeness.... I wish I had this fabric. I would do pillows; because that is pretty much all I can do. Such sweetness. I love Azure's knees.
ReplyDeleteDidnt we all have those knees???? Such fond memories at that age!
You're sweet, thank you. And pillows are great, too!
DeleteOne of the things I truly admire about your work is "the details" in everything you make. Each piece is so very special - LOVE the fabric and, of course, "the details"!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tami. I do love a good detail.
DeleteJust gorgeous! Love all the detailing. So much love in this garment :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia!
Deletecute cute. Love this! This reminds me of that song Jimmy Fallon sings on the Electric Company show (PBS). Pocket Full of H's that I'm not afraid to use... :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know this! Need to go get googling!
DeleteAzure reminds me of Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird. Both your daughter and your dress are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYes, and she's also got the feistiness of Scout!
DeleteBeautiful!! As always. Your daughters and your lovely sewing too.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Rita!
DeleteI was just talking to a friend about getting rid of clothing when our kids outgrow it, I don't know how you let these things go! Such treasures!!! And love the skinned knees!
ReplyDeleteProbably because there's always something else to sew!
Deleteeeee! (hhhh?) this is really cute! Love the piping detail too
ReplyDelete<3
DeleteCute dress! Azure is so sweet :) I love her knees. I´m 16 and I still have scabbed knees haha
ReplyDeleteHaha! Don't grow up too fast!
DeleteI am loving that stamp!!! How fun, I can think of MANY things to stamp homemade on :o) That fabric is so unique too... fun, I linked up a hoodie for H :o) EMily@nap-timecreations
ReplyDeleteYes! Everyone who sews or bakes needs one!
DeleteAre those your harps? I wondered where you were able to use such awesome "props", if they weren't.
ReplyDeleteYes! I play the concert grand and got the little one for my girls, but they've all picked different instruments so far!
